Each frame of video is stored as a grid of color values, which we call a Matrix. Besides processing images, a Jitter Matrix can also be used to store audio, 3D geometry data, or anything else that fits into a grid of values. This lets you fluidly move between audio and visual media and translate between different forms.

In addition to working with live inputs and movies, Jitter also has a suite of tools to create, synthesize, and draw graphics in unique ways. The jit.mgraphics and jit.lcd objects let you draw lines, shapes, curves, and sprites using simple commands. These drawings can then be composited or filtered with other images as you go.
